Certified Wireless Network Administrator - CWNA
Class Overview
This official Certified Wireless Network Administrator
, or CWNA, certification training is ideal for engineers who have at least 1 year of experience in the field.
This training class covers a multitude of topics ranging from RF Frequencies and RF Math, to Antenna Theory, Site Surveys, and Wireless LAN Analysis. This class provides the networking professional with a solid foundation of knowledge for entering into, or advancing within, the wireless networking industry.
From basic RF theory to 802.11 Frame Exchange processes, this class delivers hands-on training that will benefit the novice as well as the experienced network professional.
Main Areas Covered by CWNA Certification Training:
Radio Frequency (RF) Technologies.
Wireless Standards and Organizations
802.11 Network Architecture
We also include Wi-Fi 7
!
Class Details
Objectives
By the end of this training, the student should be able to:
- explain Radio Frequency (RF) technologies

- describe WLAN Protocols and Devices
- explain WLAN Network Architecture and Design Concepts
- describe WLAN Security
- define RF Validation
- describe WLAN Troubleshooting
Prerequisite Knowledge Advisory
While there is no hard-and-fast formal prerequisite to attend CWNA, CWNP *strongly* recommends that students possess at least 1 year of experience in wireless networking, prior to attending this CWNA exam training class.
To quote from CWNP’s website: “Do you have an understanding of the fundamentals of wireless technology? Do you know how WLAN works and how its managed day-to-day? Do you have the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot and maintain wireless networks within small business or Enterprise deployments?”
Wireless is significantly different from other forms of networking. Do not fall into the trap of thinking ‘I’ve been working in (routing and switching / wired) networking for years. Wireless will be easy.’ If you do not readily know what a 4-way handshake is, or how to do RF math, then CWNA is definitely the training class you’ll need. It gives a strong foundation for continuing to work as a wireless network engineer and building your career.
Additionally, you should have:
Basic Knowledge of Networking.
Understanding of OSI Model.
Knowledge of IP Subnetting.
